Condoleezza Rice admitted to Augusta

Postby Webb » Mon Aug 20, 2012 8:39 pm

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been invited to join the historically male-only Augusta National Golf Club.

Rice, along with businesswoman Darla Moore, will be the first female members of Augusta, which hosts the Masters Tournament each year, the club announced in a news release on Monday.

"These accomplished women share our passion for the game of golf and both are well known and respected by our membership,

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

A little patronising, makes me think of Bill Bailey's joke of how the Taliban ethos is made up. It was just cobbled together from different beliefs. The anti-intellectualism of the Khmer Rouge, the religious persecution of the Nazis, the enforced beard-wearing from the world of folk music, and the subjugation and humiliation of women from the world of golf.......... ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

St Andrews will remain male.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to feel the heat over no-women membership rules
